The Spiritual Feminist

Welcome to the 150th episode of the podcast! It's not like I have timed these things, but it just so happens I have something major to share with you - we found our dream property in the north of Sweden! Life has been an absolute rollercoaster ever since, and in this episode, I tell you all about it. I talk about the day the butterflies came back and other signs I received, as well as the synchronicity of Aries season & the Spring Equinox for this chapter in my life. Above all, I'm experiencing a level of depth and spirituality on my journey that is unlike anything else. In this episode, I tell you all about it.  I can't wait to share more of this journey and all the life lessons this land will gift me with you!  Read the March in Review post on my Substack 'Untethered by Leneth Witte' here.  Connect with me on Instagram: @thespiritualfem, my personal page @lenethwitte & the adVANtures in Sweden @tinytimestwo Or send me an email: hello@thespiritualfeminist.com.

This week, I wanted to share the Substack I wrote in 2023 about how my feminism and my desire to live a slow, simple life might be at odds with each other. When I reread this piece the other day, I realised how apt it was for the phase I (still) find myself in right now and I wanted to share it on the podcast as it resonated so much still and wanted to open up the space to muse on it further with you. I find it so interesting (and perhaps a little scary) to observe how the online spaces about slower living and homesteading are becoming dangerously close to right-wing, tradwife content - which is a space I absolutely do not want to be in. It begs the question how my feminism rhymes with desiring a simple life and leaving hustle culture. In this episode (and in the Substack blog), I delve into this deeper. Mind you: I don't have the answers (I wish!) but I think posing the questions and allowing ourselves to reflect on these matters, is somewhat of an answer in itself :).  I'd love to hear your thoughts! I'm also looking forward to getting my Substack going at some point soon again. Watch this space :).  Read along with the Substack piece here.  I'd love to hear from you, so please come find me online!

It is the Equinox - a time of 'in between', a snapshot in time of stillness and divine balance, and also a marker of a change in season. A time of 'not quite', and equally a time of planting seeds and transforming our energy by letting a little bit of Yang in.  This liminal space is marked here in Sweden by 'vårvinter', literally 'spring-winter', the season in between. We have the warmth of the sun and the longer days already, but it is also still snowing at times and the ground is still frozen. This season here is teaching me a lot about pausing, surrender and how stillness can stir so much and does require a gentle flow. In this episode, I talk about how I experience this season in my inner world too, with my bleed being delayed and the next chapter in our life here in Sweden not being there yet. I muse on how I still find meaning and belonging within the margins of life, and how a moment of pause and not-knowing actually faciliatates and accelerates growth and transformation - if only you dare to be fully surrender to it. How are you experiencing this Equinox? And how do you navigate seasons of in-betweenness?I'd love to hear from you, so please come find me online!

I've been experiencing grief and sadness lately, and in this episode I muse on how I was able to hold myself in those waves of raw human emotion and feel safe within that too.  I truly believe you feel the depths of your emotions to the extent you’re able to hold them, even if it doesn’t feel like that in the moment. What you do need, however, is space. Space to feel, space to listen in, space to be. And yes, this is a privilege, but also a basic human right & need! To know grief is to know love, and in that regard I am so grateful to have been experiencing this heaviness. I hope my ramblings today hit home in a way for you too.  I'd love to hear from you, so please come find me online!

What does it mean to live intuitively? If the past six months of life have shown me anything, it's that I'm much closer to doing so than before. In this episode, I reflect on how I've gotten to the point where trusting myself is now my norm, and how I've learned to letting life flow.  To me, living intuitively means stepping back from time to time and letting life take over. Daring to let life unfold as it's meant to and not force or pressure anything that isn't aligned. It's not easy - but it can be simple. I hope that with this instalment of the Untethered series, you will find inspiration and support to choose the intuitive life for yourself too.  I'd love to hear from you, so please come find me online!

It's time for our annual reflection & intention chats! Recording this a little later than usual, but I did want to continue the tradition of this yearly episode where I talk about my reflections of the past year and my word & intentions of the new year, so I'm happy that I found some time and space to do so!  As always, I dive deep into the energy of what I wish to embody in this upcoming year and the lessons I learned in the past year. Equally, I talk about what I'm proud of, where I'm at in life & what I'm looking forward to in 2025. My word of the new year is 'presence' and I hope to find calmness, gentleness, and a general sense of unfolding and trust within that word (and within the year). So, grab a cup of tea or cacao and let's catch up!  I'd love to hear your thoughts, where you're at and what your word of 2025 is, so please come find me on the interwebs!  Connect with me on Instagram: @thespiritualfem, my personal page @lenethwitte & the adVANtures in Sweden @tinytimestwo Or send me an email: thespiritualfem@gmail.com.  I'd love to hear from you.

Can we all soften a little more in the imperfect present? I've been sitting with this deep invitation during the past couple of weeks, as I find myself in an in-between phase in life and dealing with the messiness of it all! In today's episode of the Untethered series, I invite you to come as you are and muse with me on how we can approach the remainder of the year with softness, devotion and a sense of grounding. I talk about how I found myself in a freeze state upon returning to the Netherlands and how setting up a 'self care schedule' has given me the framework to get myself out it. I also invite us both to sit with a couple of (journaling) questions, reflecting on what is alive within me today and how I can be kind to myself today. I'd love for you to take some time and space today to reflect on this for yourself, if that resonates!  Come to Sweden with me! Get on the Sweden retreat waitlist & be the first to know when I'm ready to offer it to you.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, my musings on the Spiritual Feminist as a brand name + Sweden retreats!

Hi dear sister! I'm back on the podcast with a brand new series titled 'Untethered'. In this series, I explore where I'm at right now in my life, how I'm finding moments of grounding whilst doing vanlife fulltime, and what my lived experience of spirituality currently looks like.  In this first episode, I catch you up on my year, talk vulnerably about why I stepped away from - and pressed pause on -  the Spiritual Feminist (and the power of quitting), why I feel called to come back with the podcast and how my word of the year, 'space', has been serving me so far. Oh, and I also talk about feeling the calling to do retreats again! I recorded this episode outside, at a beautiful lake in the north of Sweden, in the autumnal sunshine (a.k.a. my happy place!).  If you tune in, I just want to say the biggest thank you. For sticking around, or finding the podcast and engaging with the content whilst I wasn't there to feed it. It means the world to me that the Spiritual Feminist podcast & platform has still felt so alive this year. I'm excited to see how it will evolve.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, my musings on the Spiritual Feminist as a brand name + Sweden retreats! You can DM me on Instagram (@thespiritualfem) or send me an email with your thoughts (hello@thespiritualfeminist.com). Oh, and Spotify has a reply option per episode now too (on mobile)! I'd love to hear from you!  You can also follow my vanlife adventures over on @tinytimestwo. 

It's the annual reflective episode where I dive deep into how my word of the year served me for this past year and looking forward to setting intentions and receiving a new word of the year for 2024!  Even though I have taken a step back from creating content, I really didn't want to miss this tradition. So, in this episode:  I catch you up on my life and plans for 2024 I reflect on this past year using my favourite reflective tools and talk about how my 2023 word 'devotion' has served as a red thread  I talk about how the word 'space' will probably be my 2024 word and the intentions that this word offers me too  I hope you have a wonderful end to the year and start to the new year. I want to thank you SO deeply for being here and sticking around, it means the world!  ~ Join us inside Goodbye Good Girl - any time, any place... and at any pace!  ~ Let’s hang out on Instagram (@thespiritualfem), read my writings on Substack, send me an email with your thoughts (hello@thespiritualfeminist.com) and click around on the website for all the current offerings ~ The Spiritual Feminist is an online platform and a welcoming space for women who’d like to dive deeper into spirituality and female empowerment.

I've officially entered my Saturn Return and, totally *on brand*, I've been going through many shifts! In this episode, I talk about what Saturn return means and how it's affecting me right now. I muse on why I'm taking a step back from entrepreneurship, how for the first time in my life I don't need to know what's next (or plan it) and how my creativity is pouring back in.  This episode is a little different than usual, as it is me reading out loud my first ever Substack piece.

Today I’m joined by Laura Lewis, a conscious creative soul sharing her journey through her writing, oracle-deck creating and overal conscious living. This episode is for you if you're craving spiritual inspiration from a deeply earthed, poetic point of view.  In this episode, Laura & I talk about: 1. The journey, spirituality and sacredness of micro-dosing during menstruation  2. Bringing creative projects such as the 'Whole Woman' oracle deck to life in an intuitive way  3. What wholeness means and how we can land deeply in that which is already there  ~ Check out Laura's amazing oracle deck Whole Woman, find her on Substack ('The Whole Woman' & 'An Ode to Devotion') and keep an eye on her website (lauralewis.uk) for when she's able to share her beautiful book that's brewing!  ~ Let’s hang out on Instagram (@thespiritualfem), send me an email with your thoughts (hello@thespiritualfeminist.com) and click around on the website for all the current offerings ~ The Spiritual Feminist is an online platform and a welcoming space for women who’d like to dive deeper into spirituality and female empowerment.

Today I’m joined by Lisa of the beautiful platform the Bare Female, whose work is rooted in Yoga, somatics and feminine embodiment. I am a massive fan of her membership and her Yoga work in general, so you can image how excited I am to share this episode with you!  In this episode, Lisa & I talk about: 1. What feminine embodiment & sensual Yoga actually mean - and how simple that gets to be (!) 2. What it's like building a business and brand around something that can be a little 'out there'  3. The importance of returning to your inner knowing - and how Lisa has done that throughout her own life  It's continues to blow my mind (even though it's happened a fair few times on this pod and within our community already!) that so many of us walk such a similar, inspiring path of life - and that we can be very no-BS about our spirituality & empowerment. I hope you can appreciate that from our conversation too!  ~ Find out more about Lisa's offerings (thebarefemale.com) and follow her on Instagram (@the.bare.female)  ~ Let’s hang out on Instagram (@thespiritualfem), send me an email with your thoughts (hello@thespiritualfeminist.com) and click around on the website for all the current offerings ~ The Spiritual Feminist is an online platform and a welcoming space for women who’d like to dive deeper into spirituality and female empowerment.

This bonus episode is a gift from me to you, offering you deep support on breaking free from internalised expectations, how we break worthiness away from external factors, our relationship with money and abundance, and how to trust that who we are and what we do is enough. The questions I cover:  1. How do I break free from attaching worthiness to my job and career path? 2. How do I find a balance between the need for funds and a sense of abundance? 3. How do I accept that being ‘me’ is enough?  If this mentoring special hit home for you, check out Goodbye Good Girl – my flagship group programme that supports you deeply on your personal journey of reclamation and empowerment, with audio mentoring, inspiring workshops, a virtual sisterhood and so much more.

The pod is back after its summer hiatus! I'm so excited to catch you up on #vanlife, peeling away layers of hustle culture, and what it's *really* like to go after my dreams. In this episode, I chat about:  1. What it really means to me in this season of my life to live wild & free 2. The importance of living a life that FEELS authentic & aligned, not to focus on what it looks like  3. How difficult it can be to not step into another box when you step out of your Good Girl one - and how to design your own landscape!  ~ Join the waitlist for Goodbye Good Girl and receive exclusive early access to sign up!

Allow me to guide you in this very special Yoga Nidra, inspired by the energy of the Summer Solstice.  Yoga Nidra is a deep, guided, meditative practice that you experience lying down. Through a journey of consciousness through your body, visualisation and breath work, you relax your nervous system and find deep inner peace. I also hope this particular Yoga Nidra will open your energy and let in the light.  I'm taking a little summer break with the podcast: I'll be back late August or early September. In the meantime: Hang out with me this summer! 1.

How does new moon energy, inherently Yin, support the Summer Solstice energy (very much Yang)? And how do we move through a season of light and outward-focused energy with intention, connection and grounding?  In this episode, I invite the both of us to reflect on: 1. Taking chances, sowing intentional seeds and keeping your energetic channel open for creative downloads (without feeling overwhelmed). What does it mean to say 'yes' to life more often and bring yourself back to the present, spontaneous moment in this season?  2. Embodying flow & pleasure, and how we can feel safe and excited to prioritise having fun. 3. Prioritising sacred rest and a whole lot of Yin-vibes in a very Yang season - depending on what you need.  I'm taking a little summer break with the podcast - but not before I'll upload a Yoga Nidra special next week, so keep your eyes peeled. I'll be back late August or early September. In the meantime: Hang out with me this summer! 1.

Whenever I read back what I wrote in my journal, I'm always amazed at the growth and insight my own written words show. Not that what I write is particularly profound, but the lined pages are somewhat of a safe haven to me. And in this new recurring series, I'd like to take you with me into my heart, mind and journal to explore where I'm at currently and how I'm moving through my own inner process.  I talk about... 1. How my word of the year, 'devotion', continues to show me the way inward instead of outward. 2. What capacity, abundance and the dark moon phase have to do with devotion to myself and to life. 3. How my Saturn return is inspiring me to explore the concept of wholeness - and what it means to be a whole woman. Devotion is showing me how I can slow down, get still and focus on softness and going within. And it feels like a mini awakening / levelling up in frequency to notice how my capacity is growing to share happiness and pleasure from an abundant place!  Hang out with me this summer! 1.

Join Goodbye Good Girl - my brand new programme with lifetime access to weekly, monthly and seasonal inspiration & guidance!  Cart is open until June 2nd.  A big part of inner child work IMO is reflecting on where, how and when your inner wildness was conditioned into good-girl-energy. In this episode, I reflect on my own take on this and how we can potentially bring our consciousness to the next generation too. I talk about... 1. How fear, guilt and shame are external factors we internalise as the framework of our inner good girl. 2. How we can redefine 'good' and 'bad', perhaps especially when it comes to emotions and how we feel about ourselves. 3. Why community is a key part in breaking through blockages and connecting back to the inner wild. You're deeply invited to join us inside Goodbye Good Girl - my brand new programme in which we journey together on this healing and empowerment journey. This programme is set up so that you never again have to feel alone on your path - and you can journey at your own pace and in your own way through it all too. Join us for this enrolment and you get lifetime access to all the workshops, mentoring sessions, and community aspects inside.  ~ Or, if GGG doesn't feel right for you just yet, check out the free Sacred Rebellion roadmap to get you started on (or deepen) your journey of healing and empowerment.  ~ Let’s hang out on Instagram (@thespiritualfem), send me an email with your thoughts (hello@thespiritualfeminist.com) and click around on the website for all the current offerings ~ The Spiritual Feminist is an online platform and a safe space for women who’d like to dive deeper into spirituality and female empowerment.

Join Goodbye Good Girl - my brand new programme with lifetime access to weekly, monthly and seasonal inspiration & guidance!  Cart is open until June 2nd.  This spiritual life isn’t easy - it’s a conscious choice and also something you can’t really back out of once you find yourself this path. So much about this discovery journey is about growith, and with that, comes the discomfort of getting out of your comfort zone. So if you find yourself in a phase of growing pains, with your nervous system being activated and the ground underneath you quite shaky, this one's for you. I talk about... 1. The three main ways in which you can experience growing pains: when shadow work comes up but you don't feel ready, when you know you need to start setting boundaries and bring your new-found beliefs to the outside world, and navigating a vulnerability hangover and an activated nervous system. 2. How to hold yourself through these growing pains: with acceptance, a holistic and compassionate approach, consciously seeking joy whenever you can and leaning into the support of a community too.  3. My new programme Goodbye Good Girl and how I believe you should never have to navigate the hard parts of your spiritual journey alone! I hope this episode inspires you to be really kind and patient with yourself as you navigate these shaky grounds. Know that this is a big part of your journey and you're so brave to sit in the discomfort and taking it one step at the time. You got this sister, and you're truly never alone! x ~ Check out the free Sacred Rebellion roadmap to get you started on (or deepen) your journey of healing and empowerment.  ~ Let’s hang out on Instagram (@thespiritualfem), send me an email with your thoughts (hello@thespiritualfeminist.com) and click around on the website for all the current offerings ~ The Spiritual Feminist is an online platform and a safe space for women who’d like to dive deeper into spirituality and female empowerment.
